Biography
Muhammad Riyad was born in 1999 in Afghanistan to a Sunni Muslim Pashtun family, and he came to Germany in 2015 as an unaccompanied child refugee. Riyad lived at a refugee camp and then with a foster family in Ochsenfurt, Bavaria, and he later became a radical Islamist and an Islamic State supporter. He filmed himself with a knife, declaring that he was a soldier of the Islamic State, and that no city, village, or airport would be safe from IS. After drawing an IS flag in his living quarters, Riyad boarded a train at Ochsenfurt bound for Wurzburg, and he wounded five Hong Kongers in a knife attack while shouting "Allahu akbar". Riyad was shot dead by armed response police as he tried to flee the scene.
